Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Toss them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re evenly coated!
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. Give them a stir halfway through for even cooking.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, drain and rinse the black beans. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the beans. You can add a pinch of cumin and salt for extra flavor.
- In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté until they’re tender, about 5-7 minutes. You can add a sprinkle of salt and pepper at this stage.
- Once everything is cooked, it’s time to assemble! Start with a base of sweet potatoes, then add a generous scoop of black beans and sautéed bell peppers.
- Top your bowl with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Feel free to add any other toppings you love, like shredded cheese, salsa, or Greek yogurt!
- Your Sweet Potato Taco Bowl is ready! Dig in and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
